Set up your computer to browse the web.

Each computer user sets it in his own way, according to familiar regulations, only our ingenuity limits us with the configuration of our tin plate.

Monitor set to text mode.

Currently, each brand of computer monitors has a well-adapted text mode, properly calibrated monitor in text mode can take only 15 W in power. The current consumption of the monitor also depends on its size. For normal home use, it is recommended to use 21 – 22" size monitors, which are energy efficient enough. An important option here is low blue light emission, which has little adverse effect on man. However, the case of refreshing our monitor looks like this – the faster the better, so I changed the speed from 60 hz to 75 hz.

The issue of monitor maki does not play an important role, I prefer monitors iiyama.

USB hardware, not batteries.

In order not to pack in unnecessary expenses, it is recommended to use USB devices directly connected to the computer, the power consumption is not much higher. On the plus side deserves no need to replace the battery, which is an extremely convenient solution. The monitor itself is connected via HDMI, which is beneficial for sound, and through built-in speakers.

The dominant dark theme in the software.

However, when it comes to cosmetics such as the selection of the peel of the program, it is worth using here dark motifs, which are less demanding energetically. Each operating system has a theme configuration panel, where we can organize everything accordingly. I'll come here that some electricity will save by changing the desktop environment on Linux to some lighter.

Change the background color in Libre Office.

By default, when writing our text editor shines full power in white, it is worth remedying it, how? Right-click a white sheet of paper in the window> select a stront> then click the color> select a dark shade.

Each browser to a different Google Account and with a different application.

Firefox for standard web browsing, all the major accounts I have configured in this browser. The features of the fox are a large number of plugs and a generally high standard of safety. I use it mainly for writing so it has a lot of text plugins, for character counting, https everywhere, VPN and CMS detect.

Power management options.

In Linux they look like this: Turn off the screen after inactivity for, set to half an hour. Then sleep our computer after an hour of inactivity, while pressing the turn off key asks you what to do with our computer.
